Female Novel
Chapter 2377
Luca lowered her gaze and was glad that Vivian did not understand English.
Otherwise, she would be sad to hear what they were saying about her even if she was used to otherspointing and looking.
"Luca, why aren't you eating?" Vivian asked when she saw that Luca had stopped eating.
"Nothing to worry about." Luca picked up a burger and took a bite.
The boy at the next table could not stop himself. He picked up his phone, walked over, and looked atLuca with a smile. "Hello, classmate. Do you want to add me on Facebook?"
"I'm not your classmate." Luca did not look at the boy. She acted coldly.
"We can be friends even if we're not from the same university. Besides, you don't know what universityI'm from. How are you so sure that we're not from the same college?" The boy did not give up whenfaced with her indifference.
"I'm old enough to be your aunt. Besides, I'm not interested in people who like to talk about otherpeople's appearances," Luca said coolly and took a sip of her grape juice.
He was an ignorant little boy who had not experienced the world. She found him annoying.
The boy blushed as if he had been caught doing something bad and hurriedly returned to his seat.
They had spoken softly when they were talking about Luca and Vivian. He was impressed that sheheard their laughter and discussion.
Vivian teased her, "Luca, you're so charming that even a little boy is asking for your contact details."
"Don't make fun of me." Luca shook her head. If Vivian knew what they were talking about, she mightnot be as happy as she was.novelbin
"I didn't mean it as a tease. It was a compliment," Vivian said.
Time was unfair. Luca was about her age, but there was no sign of aging on Luca's face.
Her beautiful face would make any man fall in love with her with one look.
Vivian looked at her with admiration.
No one would doubt it if Luca walked into a college and said that she was a college student.
"Have more of the fries." Luca put more fries on her plate.
"Thank you." Vivian took them, took a sip of grape juice, and continued to eat.
After the meal, Luca took Vivian around Capital University and the surrounding area to familiarize herwith the environment.
After that, Warren sent them back to Vivian's hotel.
When they got to the hotel, Vivian invited her. "Luca, do you want to go in and relax for a little?"
"No, I'll have to head off." Luca turned her down. She wanted to go back to the office to complete thefinal report since she had some time.
This way, after New Year's holiday, they could apply for the drug to be listed.
After Vivian got out of the car and went back to the hotel, Warren asked, "Ms. Craw, do you want to goback to the villa now?"
"No, drop me off at T Corporation. I need to attend to some work," Luca said. Although she wasexhausted after two days of shopping, she still planned to sort out the matter at hand as soon aspossible.
That was because she did not know when Abel would give out a new mission or a new threat.
Luca had been very careful with everything, including her drug research. Although it was based onShanks' research, she had made some changes. Even if Abel's pharmaceutical company launched thesame drug, it was not going to be the same as the result of her final research.
Therefore, as long as it was not leaked, her research would create high profits for WatsonBiopharmaceuticals.
"Okay, Ms. Craw. Please fasten your seat belt. We'll go now," Warren said and drove to T Corporation.
Luca buckled her seat belt and closed her eyes. "I'll take a short nap. Let me know when we get there."
"Yes." Warren glanced at the back seat and started driving.
After they arrived at T Corporation, Luca headed to her floor.
There was no notice to work overtime, so she was the only one on the entire floor. The surroundingswere quiet and even a little creepy.
Luca walked back to the office after she punched in.
She took out the thick stacks of documents from the safe and sat in her office chair to work on them.
Luca went through the documents for about an hour when someone knocked on her office door.
"Come in." She did not look up as she was certain that it was Luke.
"Why are you here?" Luke opened the door and looked at Luca, who seemed to be working hard at herdesk. Half an hour ago, Warren texted him saying that Luca went to the office to work after she sentVivian back to the hotel.
However, he was in a meeting at the time.
"I want to sort these documents out before the vacation so that we can apply for the permit right afterthe new year," Luca said.
"Mm. Come with me upstairs?" Luke asked as he picked up the papers she had left on the side of thetable.
The ones on the left had not been processed while the ones on the right had been processed. He knewabout her habit and grabbed the unprocessed files.
"Mr. Crawford?" Luca watched him take away all the unprocessed documents without waiting for heranswer.
"I'm bored. Come with me," Luke said cheekily.
'He's bored? How could he be bored with work?!'
Luca sighed and closed her laptop. "Okay, Mr. Crawford."
She stood up. When Luke wanted her company, she could only obey. After all, Luke had so manyexcuses and reasons.
Luca followed Luke to the top floor.
They bumped into Jason when they got out of the elevator.
"Boss, Dr. Craw, good afternoon." When Jason saw them, he took the initiative to greet them with aslight smile on his face. He then lowered his head and walked away.
He did not stop for a second for fear of being blamed.
Jason left before Luca had the time to say hello to him.
Luke walked into the office with the thick stack of documents, put it beside the desk, pulled over a chair,and placed it opposite his chair.
"Is it okay for you to sit here and process your documents?" he asked.
"Okay." Luca knew that she could not say no. She was glad that at least there was a table here for herto do her work. She did not want to sit on the sofa to keep her distance from Luke.
She sat on the chair, turned on the laptop, and resumed her work.
Luke's eyes were locked on her. He did not look like he was going to attend to his work.
Luca went through a few pages and could not stand it anymore. She looked up at the person oppositeher and said, "Mr. Crawford, don't you have something that you need to do?"
"I'm pretty much done with my work for today," Luke said. He got through his work rather quickly.
Luca was taken back by his words. "If you're done, why don't you get off work? Go home to spend timewith Lanie and Rainie."
"I want to be with you," Luke said. "They don't like being watched by me."
Luca felt helpless. Although she liked being watched by Luke, she felt guilty. She would also think thathe might know what she was thinking in her mind.
She said, "Mr. Crawford, if you don't want to go back home, why don't you find something to do? I can'twork with you staring at me like this."
